Level Six Helium Yoke Pad

A well-fitted yoke pad turns a brutal portage into a manageable one, and on a long canoe route that difference adds up quickly.

The Level Six Helium Yoke Pad is designed to sit between your canoe's yoke and your shoulders, adding cushioning and stability for carries of any length. The air mesh panels allow airflow across your shoulders and neck, reducing heat buildup and keeping the pad comfortable on warm portage days. GripTex fabric on the contact surface keeps the pad locked in position on the yoke without shifting or sliding, even on uneven terrain where the canoe moves around on your shoulders.

Customisable 1-inch foam inserts let you adjust the thickness and firmness of the padding to suit your shoulder shape and the load you're carrying, which is a useful feature for paddlers who find standard yoke pads either too firm or too soft for their build. The 100% nylon air mesh construction keeps the pad lightweight so it's not adding unnecessary weight to your portage load, and the durable construction holds up through seasons of hard use on Canadian canoe routes.

A straightforward upgrade for any tripping canoe that makes the carries between lakes noticeably more comfortable.
